Radiator Bleed Screw

Suckit

I need to get a radiator bleed screw that was removed (No idea why) from a radiator.

The radiator is from 70's build house, original radiator.

I have no idea which screw to get, are they all the same size width?

I see different ones from halfway down this page

Is the radiator on a working circuit, if so i doubt the vent was removed, if it was youd have water missing out of the rad, I'm guessing it's either rounded or snapped off.
Im afraid you will either need a new rad or will need to tap the rad for a new vent.

The screw is missing out and the water to the radiator is turned off (afaik).


I asked what happened, and apparently they were bleeding the radiator and screwed it out too far and lost the screw.. Bled it into a bowl and turned off the water to it.

Years ago by the looks of it. It seems fairly rusty around the hole.

How to tap it for a new vent?

Ah right, you won't be able to tap it if the vent is out.
Id suggest turn off both sides of another rad and pop that vent out and bring it to a plumbing providers and see if they have a match.
If you are in Dublin id recommend Smallmans in Ranelagh.

Thanks, I'll do that. I think all of the upstairs radiators are the same.

Possibly old Barlo rads.
